Hey, so I'm back from Ottawa and I had a pretty good trip. :)
So the book club starts tommorow. The first book is Catch-22, then it will be Lord of the Flies. The winners of the second round of voting are Tale of Two Cities, To Kill a Mocking Bird, Bad Twin, The Third Policeman, Of Mice and Men
Here's the complete outline of how it will work...
) I'm going to have to last round of voting at a latter date.
***The second round of voting is still open in my last blog, if you havn't voted yet, please go do so now***
Okay, so as some of youthat live in Canada or the States mayknow, this month there is something very important going on, it's called the Relay For Life, to support the Canadian (and American) Cancer Soceity, and those of have passed awaydue to cancer. Fot those of you who do not know what this is, bacically, people sponser different people from their comunity to stay up all nightany walk around a set track, and all the money goes to cancer reaserche. People buy luminaries for cancer survivors, or for those who have survived cancer. Thegoal is to keep the candles burning all night long, they repreasent hope for those who are fighting with cancer. It's always something thats very important to me, because I'm a cancer survivor, and it's important to never give up trying to find a cure, or to stop fighting, because sometimes all we have is our hope. So please, sometime tonight, light a candle.
Hey guys, so sorry for the delay for this, my exams are going on right now so I've been studing like crazy. So the winners of the last vote are Catch-22, Lord of the Flies, Carrie, Through the Looking Glass and A Wrinkle in Times. The votes worked out really good too, there were no ties. So here's the second round of voting, same rules as the last time... :)
Start the voting :D
------
So this week I have all my exams :(, which means I'm going to be studing even more, so I probably won't be online a whole lot for the next little while. Anyways, I have to get to school, bye bye.
Hey guys, so the winner of the last vote is choice #1, my blog, although it was very close between that and the forums. So now its time to vote for the first round of books. This is how it will work, you vote for 2 books this round, and 2 books only. The top 5 book at the end of this round will be the first 5 books that we read. Last vote, it was a bit hard to figure out that some people were voting for cause they put multiple votes, so if you could please put "My votes are for _______ and _______", it would make it so much easier to count the votes. There are a few book that I took out of the list, such as the Bible, The Brothers Karamazov, Harry Potter and I Ching. So here's the list of books....
Here is a link to lostpedia.com where it lists all the book and there authors, http://www.lostpedia.com/wiki/Literary_works#Alice.27s_Adventures_in_Wonderland if you look under each book, it will say "wikipedia link", click on that to get a full description of the book. Start Voting! :)

So this week wasn't all that great, mostly cause of my computer problems, my exams are coming up in 2 weeks, so I'm studying like crazy. I went to see Pirates last night and I loved it! An amazing movie! I wrote this down realy quick after seeing it, "To laugh so hard that your stomach hurts, to cry so much you think your eyes will swell shut, to be so scared that you just want to cover your face with your hands and hide forever. To feel these three things with in the limits of two and a half hours is an amazing thing, and very few movies ever acheive it. But this one did. It is nothing, and it is everything, but the clasic and ultimate story of good vs evil, man vs fate, and the notion that love concures all." Kind of cheesy eh? Oh well, it's a great movie. :)

edit: so its like midnight now, and i'm bored out of my mind, and i want to go to bed, but i can't cause i'm at someones elses house babysitting, and i've still got 2 more hours to go. im so tired that i cant even find it in me to press the shift button to capitalize my letters.... now thats sad. oh, its now been sunday, may 27 2007 for 7 minutes. :P god, i feel like im gonna fall asleep in my chair right now, and theres no one on msn to talk to... so if theres anyine out there who really has nothing better to do with there time, go ahead and add me cause i really need to talk to someone, its i_have_know_brain@hotmail.com, yes, i know, very strange email, i picked it when i was like 10 and i havn't changed it yet. god, coffee would be so nice right now! im stuck with water and orange juice.... i hate orange juice :| especially that stuff with the little things at the bottom, i cant remember what there called, i think it starts with a p. oh well. please, if anyone reads this in the next 2 hours, please comment or add, i need something to do so i dont collapse.
I'm so sad right now cause Wednesday night at like 11 my computer totally crashed and it only started working again today. Every single thing that was saved on my computer is earased, everythings gone. I literally started crying, I'm still so sad. I also missed the Lost Finale Chat, which I had been looking forward to for like a month. :cry: I'll try to put up the next round of voting somethime later today or tomorrow. I'm rewatching the Jacket Kiss on repeat right now, so thats helping me cheer up a bit...
Hey guys, I'm back, and I had a great time on my trip. So, I knoe I said that voting for the book choices would start on Monday, but I decsided to oush that back a few days and vote for were we have the discussions now. So here are the choices....
So I think I have all the options, but if I forgot one, just tell me and I'll add it to the list. :)
Voting stops once everyone has voted.
------------
Edit- (no spoilers) Ok, so I just read the HUGE spoilers for the finale, even though I had promised not to read them, but OMFG!!!!! That has to be the biggest thing to ever happen on Lost!!!! I almost started hyperventilating after reading them! So for all you people who are trying to decide if you should read them, DON'T!!!! You will so regret it, I so wish that I had never read them because they are THAT HUGE! Lost is never going to be the same after this finale. SO DON'T READ THEM!!!! That is your last warning, so if you do decide to read them, make sure you have someone next to you ready to call 911. Only 2 days till the finale, don't give into them, it's much better to leave them a surprise. And for all you people saying they don't want another Jack-back, wash your mouth out with soap, cause this is gonna be the bast f***ing episode ever!
------------
Edit #2- I would put this in a new blog, but i want to wait till everyone has votes until I make a new one... so here is a little banner that I made really fast....
-----------
Edit #3- So I just created a new acount (just in case i ever get banner :P) and I tried to post on the forums, but when I ever I try it tells me that I'm no autherized to submite messeges on these boards. Have any idea what thats about?
Okay, so I am SO happy that I had so many people sign up for the book club, which means that it is most defiantly a go! I've been thinking a lot about how it's going to work, and I want all of your guys input on this, this is what I was thinking... It will either start on June 6th, 20th or 27th. I'm kind of leaning to the 20th or 27th though cause of my exams (which I have yet to study for :S).
We would be reading 1 book over a 2 weeks period. I know some of you still have work to go to, and some people go on vacation or day trips during the summer, so I thought 2 weeks would good. Plus, some people are slow at reading, and some of the books are rather long to read in one week.
f we started on June 20th, this is how I was think we could do it, (again, tell we what you think, this is just a rough estimate that will probably be change a lot depending on what everyone wants)-
I skipped a few days such as Thanksgiving and July 1st, is there any other days I forgot about?

Member List (so far)-
If I happen to have forgot to put someone on the list, just let me know :P
------------------------
We are going to start voting on which books to read on Monday, voting will stop on Thursday night. There will probably be a few rounds of voting after that, the top five from this vote we will be reading, then we will vote again and the top five from that we will be reading. Then we'll vote again and the top 4 from that we will read. J
